Diving into the vertical dimension of elasmobranch movement ecology
Andrzejaczek, Samantha; Lucas, Tim C. D.; Goodman, Maurice C.; Hussey, Nigel E.; Armstrong, Amelia J.; Carlisle, Aaron; Coffey, Daniel M.Knowledge of the three-dimensional movement patterns of elasmobranchs is vital to understand their ecological roles and exposure to anthropogenic pressures. To date, comparative studies among species at global scales have mostly focused on horizontal movements. Our study addresses the knowledge gap of vertical movements by compiling the first global synthesis of vertical habitat use by elasmobranchs from data o...
Synergistic catalytic action of vanadia-titania composites towards the microwav...
Ferretti, Francesco; Da Costa Ribeiro, Ana Paula; Alegria, Elisabete; Ferraria, Ana Maria; Kopylovich, Maximilian; Guedes Da Silva, M. Fátima C.Intensification of chemical processes according to the motto "faster, simpler, greener" is among the main concerns nowadays. One of the ways of intensification is the application of synergistic catalytic effects when the overall efficiency of a composite catalyst is much higher than the sum of the component activities. Here, we report on the preparation of synergistic catalytic materials by a simple and straigh...
Antiproliferative activity of heterometallic sodium and potassium-dioxidovanadi...
Sutradhar, Manas; Alegria, Elisabete; Ferretti, Francesco; Raposo, Luís R; Guedes Da Silva, M. Fátima C.; Baptista, Pedro; Fernandes, AlexandraThe syntheses of the heterometallic sodium and potassium-dioxidovanadium 2D polymers, [NaVO2(1 kappa NOO';2 kappa O ''-L)(H2O)](n), (1) and [KVO2(1 kappa NOO';2 kappa O';3 kappa O ''-L)(EtOH)](n) (2) (where the kappa notation indicates the coordinating atoms of the polydentate ligand L) derived from (3,5-di-tert-butyl-2-hydroxybenzylidene)-2-hydroxybenzohydrazide (H2L) are reported. The polymers were characteri...
Food habits of wolves and selection of wild ungulates in a prey-rich Mediterran...
Ferretti, Francesco; Lovari, Sandro; Mancino, Valentina; Burrini, Lucia; Rossa, MarianaLarge carnivores are increasing throughout the western Holarctic, re-colonising large parts of their former ranges. Ecological (e.g., predator-prey relationships) and socio-economic (e.g., livestock depredation) consequences of this process need to be monitored to identify suitable management/conservation actions. We studied food habits and selection of main prey by wolves in a Mediterranean protected coastal a...
